Yesterday marked the 100th day of us bombing the **** out of them. The Strait is still closed. We sunk their navy. The Strait is still closed. We took out quite a number of their power plants...leaving their citizens in the dark. The Strait is still closed. We took out a good percent of their leadership. The Strait is still closed.

You forgot that Iran succesfully launched 15+ Long Range missiles into Israel yesterday.  

There was a conservative pundit on the radio who experienced the interceptions over his head.  He said it was harrowing and that Trump needs to support Israel destroying anything Persian. He specifically complained the deal has been reached 47 times and that is impossible to make a deal with Iranians.

Anything is possible, including nuclear arms being  used here (your friendly neighborhood psyop or perhaps an actual foe)

Attrition.

I said that this was a battle of attrition. Iran can outlast us. They can't beat us in military strength, but they leverage more power over us. Not to mention a closed Strait prevents other European nations from receiving their oil. Thus they are suffering too.  

This is what happens when the US allows Israel to navigate our military and policies.

Mehhh... The Strait of Hormuz Blues.. Everyday it's closed is more misery for people, more profits for the rich with less product to move.

Our life is in a War Time economy mode, we are very careful what we buy, what we do..  Discretionary spending is drastically cut..  We'll see if the 18 gallons I bought at 3.89$ in reserve today was a good idea soon.  If it was a good idea, things will be bad... so I don't mind losing on the strategy.
